We're delighted to announce that this December will see the return of Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People, our rational Christmas celebration hosted by Robin Ince. This year the shows are taking place over 5 nights from 15-19 December at the Bloomsbury Theatre in London (and a night at the Hammersmith Apollo TBC).

We're just finalising the acts with Robin, so I can't give you names, but take it from us that it'll be a fantastic show, with a line-up to rival last year's, which included Richard Dawkins, Ricky Gervais, Dara O'Briain and Jarvis Cocker.

Tickets for the Bloomsbury shows are already on sale, so book now to ensure you don't miss out.

Thanks for the questions. On the bill issue the plan is to have about 6 performers who do every night- TBC- and then different people on rotation. We will be announcing the full line-up shortly (a week or so I hope). On the issue of going on the road- we are London based and a small charity, but we do plan to try and take a version of this on the road in 2010.

It would be nice to see some of this outside of london, a little further north; hey even Edinburgh would be closer than London, Birmingham's quite central as well. Whose daft idea was it to stick the capital in a far off corner of the country ... Come on somebody, own up, who was it?!
